The works will be conducted by one derrick barge, with a tug providing assistance. The number of vessels engaged in the works will change from time to time to suit operational requirements.
A working area of approximately 50 metres around the derrick barge will be established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the barge.
Silt curtains, extending from the sea surface to the seabed, will be established within works area. Yellow markers fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the extent of the silt curtains.
Diving operations will also be carried out from time to time during the hours of work.
